The 4 Seasons - "Season" 2 - Envy

Green is the feral glow in his eyes
As He stalks his unwary prey
With the stealth of a cat He moves
He will take what she has today

His body tingles at the mere thought
Of what he will possess after
He craves the periphery of her form
At the vision, He supresses His laughter

He stops her, requesting for help
"My arm is broken", He says
Unsuspecting, the young girl obliges
Oh what a price, she pays

A sickening thud pierces the night
She falls down, blank
A quadruped silently watches her body
As He drags it into His van

It is finished, the job is done
He is wearing that which He craved
Next morning, another Skin He sees
Arouses His desire depraved

We covet what we see everyday
Green desire within us will burn
Envy rips us right to the bone
Our very sanity it doth govern

Really good rhyme-meter..very timely and appropriate..however i would have had "broken the arm" part replaced by something more strong/philosophical/impactful yet definitely a piece worth a thousand praises..dude u got some real good rhyme talent..nice choice of words...the skin borrowing part is real good..not obvious thought transitions yet coherent...excellent..loved it!

Kunal, the arm broken thing is in direct reference to Ted Bundy, an American serial killer....thats y :)
